Over the last decade, the frequency of mass shootings within the United States have soared significantly. This is a huge problem that is sadly becoming too commonplace within our country. The frequency of these mass shootings are desensitizing us to such tragic events forcing us to feel less and less shocked evertime a shooting occurs. 37 out of our 50 states have experienced these unfortunate attacks. Additionally, the average injury count per mass shooting is about 4. In 2018 alone, 340 mass shooting occured across the country, responsible for 373 deaths on innocent citizens. The city impacted most by mass shootings (deadliest mass shooting) was Pompano Beach (Parkland) with a total death toll of 17.

Particular Incident - Parkland, Florida High School Shooting A mass shooting that has made its way to the top three deadliest school shootings took place in Pompano Beach (Parkland), Florida High School. Unfortunately, Florida as a state have encoutered these tregedies time and time again with a total amount of mass shootings equal to 30. According to the NY Daily News, the Parkland shooting is the third most deadly school shooting in history not far behind the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. Parkland’s mass shooting caused a larger than usual outcry for improved gun laws and restrictions to be implemented. With that said, an article from the NPR, presents a graph that tells a different story. The graph presented shows the urgency of implementing new gun restrictions with a poll over the last few decades. While the graph clearly shows a upward spike after the Parkland shooting, within a year; there has been a considerable downtrend, meaning the majority don’t feel a strong urgency to change the current laws as much as they used to.
Map of US Mass Shootings in 2018:
Upon click of any marker, you are given information about the particular mass shooting with significant information such as City, State, Number of People Killed, and Number of People Injured. The reason for why I have chosen to use bar chart for my plot is because it allows me to show most of my states without the use of scrolling; which wouldn’t be possibly with a histogram. Presenting the total mass shooting count on the x-axis helps the reader quickly understand the data presented as the y-axis already clearly presents states (both written out and titled). The bar-chart allows viewers to understand which states are at higher risks of mass shootings (e.g., California and Illinois) and which states aren’t (e.g., Massachusetts and Delware).
